About this property
You’ll find the relaxing haven of Villa Selinos amongst the picturesque hillside just outside of the busting port town of Skópelos. If peace and tranquility is what you want from your holiday yet still being within a short drive of hustle and bustle then this property is for you. Sleeping 4 people in 2 bedooms, this attractive villa is ideal for couples or a young family, and with spectacular views out to the Aegean Sea from a beautiful secluded terrace you’ll not want to leave.
Upon arriving you’ll immediately feel at ease nestled amongst a large olive grove and almond trees - a beautiful setting on which this charming little villa resides. As you enter you’ll find a pleasing open plan kitchen/ living area set around a lovely fireplace – a perfect space to unwind in after a long day in the Grecian sun. With a comfortable sofa and a dining area on which to entertain, you’ll love this brightly decorated space. Also on the ground floor you’ll discover a delightful double bedroom and separate bathroom, both decorated in a pleasingly colourful style.
Climbing up the wooden steps of the exposed staircase you’ll reach the adorable mezzanine level featuring two twin beds tucked away under wooden rafters. It offers access out onto a lovely private terrace area on which to enjoy a morning coffee or refreshing sundowner whilst looking out across those stunning views.
The outdoor area here at Villa Selinos is an oasis of calm and tranquility. Surrounded by olive trees, an outdoor pool offers a cooling respite from the warm afternoons. Contained by a traditional stone wall, overlooked by nothing but lush vegetation, you’ll feel truly secluded from the outside world. There is also an outdoor dining area and a huge brick BBQ on which to unleash your culinary expertise.
So whether you’re arriving back from one of the many walking routes through beautiful countryside just steps away from the villa, or returning from a day trip from one of the beautiful swimming coves or sandy beaches nearby, you’ll immediately feel relaxed as you step through the doors of Villa Selinos.
With jaw dropping landscapes, crystal clear waters, traditional architecture and more vegetation than any other Island in Greece, no wonder Skópelos was chosen as the location for the smash Hollywood film Mamma Mia!
Accessed by an hour ferry ride from neighbouring Skiathos, you’ll be glad you went that extra mile once you arrive on this wonderful Island. With lush rolling hills, covered with fragrant pine trees, stunning coastal scenery, time-forgotten pastoral towns and beautiful monasteries and chapels dotting the landscape you’ll be transported to another world.
Skópelos town, one of the most beautiful ports in the country with a sprawling hillside, ruined Venetian fortress and dozens of chapels, has plenty of restaurants, shops and cafes to keep you entertained. But its relaxed attitude can be surmounted in the old boys playing backgammon over coffee at every turn.
Skópelos has an abundance of beautiful sun-drenched beaches, backed by uninterrupted stretches of pine-covered coastline. Although those on Skópelos are largely shingle or pebble, they are picturesque, framed by rocky green hills, and quiet havens on which to soak up the Grecian sun. It’s advisable to have a car on the Island, as the nearest good beaches to the area around Skópelos town are Stafilos and Velanio, roughly 6km away. Although you can swim at the foot of the hill just before entering the town.
So whether you’re enjoying the calming waters of the Aegean Sea, visiting a nearby monastery or perhaps going further a field with a day trip to neighbouring Islands Skiathos or Aiónissos, you’ll always find something to keep everyone happy.
